Talk
Designing Clinical Trials For Patients Not Drugs
Randomized controlled clinical trials have changed little since their inception. Bayesian statistical methods, technologies that stratify patients, and initial success in breast cancer should make adaptive trials more common. This talk will cover how adaptive trials benefit patients by making it more likely they receive an effective drug and benefit drug companies by reducing approval time and cost.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
Precision medicine has incredible promise for patients. Enormous amounts of money and time are invested in developing technologies and targeted therapies. Genomics, proteomics, phosphorylation assays, RNA expression, organoid growth, and testing, and even delicate mass measurement of liquid cancer cells are explored. This innovation must be focused to maximize the benefit to the most important participants in our healthcare system, the patient. This track is about putting patient needs first, and understanding and accessing the latest (cancer) treatment options.
